I recently found what looks like a fossilised dinosaur egg. I found it at the bottom of the clay cliffs in Folkestone, Kent. It is about 20cm wide, very heavy and grey/beige in colour. I was told by some German fossil hunters who were there when I found the object that it could be a dinosaur's egg. Is it possible that it could be a dinosaur egg? Are dinosaur eggs commonly found on the South East coast? Further, would such an egg be worth anything?

Sorry for starting a new thread with the same question but I couldn't attach photos to the existing thread.

It is just a somewhat rounded lump of (maybe) sandstone. These sorts of pieces can arise by accident, though stones trapped in true pot holes (in river beds and foreshores) can end-up being much rounder by dint of the particular erosion there.

To be an egg, it would be much more regular and would have a distinct 'shell'.
